Acts 20

Bible in Basic English (BBE)

35 Ref In all things I was an example to you of how, in your lives, you are to give help to the feeble, and keep in memory the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, There is a greater blessing in giving than in getting.

36 Ref And having said these words, he went down on his knees in prayer with them all.

37 Ref And they were all weeping, falling on Paul's neck and kissing him,

38 Ref Being sad most of all because he had said that they would not see his face again. And so they went with him to the ship.
